KNOX, Maine — Neither snow nor rain has kept him from delivering the mail, but what the postman saw Friday outside a rural Knox home gave him pause. And caused him to call the police.

The mail carrier filed a complaint that stated Nathan Harrington, 38, was sitting in a chair in front of the residence “buck naked and masturbating,” according to the Waldo County Sheriff’s Office. It was the second time that the postman allegedly saw Harrington engaged in this activity.

When an officer talked to Harrington, he said that he didn’t believe anyone could see him, Lt. Jason Trundy said Monday. But the officer noted that his chairs were placed in plain view of the road, and he issued him a criminal summons for indecent conduct.

Harrington is scheduled to make an appearance on the matter at Belfast District Court on Nov. 19, 2013.
